Expert Steelworks & Fabrication in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex

Structural Beams And RSJs Delivered To Your Site

Ever found yourself stuck on-site because a supplier missed their delivery slot? We know that time is money in the construction world. We specialise in 'builders' steel'—everything from standard Universal Beams (UB) and Universal Columns (UC) to custom RSJs for those tricky kitchen knock-throughs. If your architect has specified complex splice connections or bespoke base plates, we'll fabricate them exactly to the millimetre. We serve Fordingbridge and the wider 25-mile radius, ensuring your structural steel arrives on time so your team can keep moving.

Coded Welding You Can Truly Trust

When it comes to load-bearing joints, 'good enough' isn't an option. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders certified to BS EN ISO 9606 standards. We handle MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, allowing us to work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium with equal precision. Whether it's a critical structural joint for a commercial portal frame or a precise repair on industrial machinery, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS). It’s about giving you the peace of mind that once a joint is welded by us, it stays welded.

Bespoke Metalwork For Homes And Businesses

Sometimes a standard off-the-shelf solution just won't cut it. Maybe you need a custom-made steel staircase that fits a tight corner, or perhaps you're looking for architectural balustrades that look as good as they perform. From mezzanine floors that double your warehouse space to hand-crafted gates for a New Forest property, we take your ideas and turn them into reality. We use CNC plasma cutting and oxy-fuel profiling to ensure every component is finished to a professional standard. If you can draw it, we can probably build it.

Expert Marine Fabrication And Ship Repair

Being so close to the South Coast means we're no strangers to the maritime industry. We provide specialist marine fabrication and ship repair services for commercial vessels and private boats alike. Our mobile units are ready to head out for dockside repairs or on-board welding whenever you need us. We understand the corrosive nature of the marine environment, which is why we offer durable finishes like hot-dip galvanising to ensure your steelwork stands up to the salt and spray. From hull patches to deck modifications, we've got the expertise to keep you afloat.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our structural steel fabrication and coded welding services in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex .

Do I need a certified fabricator for my home extension?

+

Yes, any structural steel used in a building project must be CE-marked and fabricated by a company with the correct accreditation, such as BS EN 1090-1. This confirms the steel is safe and the welds are up to standard. Using an uncertified fabricator could cause serious problems with building control and your property insurance.

What is the difference between a standard welder and a coded welder?

+

A coded welder has passed specific practical tests witnessed by an independent examiner. This certification proves they can produce welds of the highest quality that meet strict British and European standards. For structural or load-bearing steel, using a coded welder is often a legal or safety requirement.

Can you supply steel beams for local builders?

+

We certainly do. We regularly work with local builders in Southampton and Hampshire to supply RSJs and universal beams for extensions and internal wall removals. We can cut, drill, and prime the steel so it is ready for installation as soon as it arrives on your site.

How quickly can you complete a fabrication project?

+

Lead times depend on how complex the job is and our current workshop schedule. However, because we are a local Southampton company, we pride ourselves on being responsive. Once we see your drawings, we can give you a realistic timeframe and stick to it.

Do you offer on-site welding in Southampton?

+

Yes, we have mobile welding equipment that allows us to carry out repairs and installations directly at your location. This is ideal for fixing gates, railings, or structural beams that are already in place.

What materials do you work with?

+

While we specialise in structural mild steel, we are also experts in working with stainless steel and aluminium. This allows us to handle everything from heavy industrial frames to marine components and architectural metalwork.
